Huawei Nova 14 Pro phone review
Huawei Nova 14 Pro - the weak link of the line?
The new generation of the Nova series from the Chinese company Huawei turned out to be more than good, although there are no revolutionary changes when compared with its predecessors. However, the hero of today's review, which is average in terms of technology and performance in the updated series, seems to be the least interesting option for purchase.
Huawei Nova 14 phone review
Huawei Nova 14 - a bestseller with nuances
It seems that devices from the Chinese company Huawei will forever remain without support for Google services. On the one hand, this is a significant problem for part of the audience, because many applications do not always function correctly, on the other hand, the corporation is trying to atone for the aforementioned shortcoming with an amazing ratio of the price of new products and their functionality, technical characteristics. The hero of today's review will not be an exception.
Xiaomi 15S Pro phone review
Xiaomi 15S Pro - an unexpected victory for the brand
The vast majority of smartphone and other mobile electronics manufacturers depend on component suppliers. Logistics problems, the need to agree with the pricing policy of other corporations and a plethora of other difficulties make almost every developer dream of independently producing certain components. Thus, the Chinese company Xiaomi has once again taken up the development of its own chipset, and a flagship one at that. Surprisingly, the result has exceeded literally all expectations.
OUKITEL WP55 Pro phone review
OUKITEL WP55 Pro - Unnecessary Improvements
Pro versions of smartphones in the vast majority of cases please buyers with positive changes in a number of parameters at once, thanks to which the newly-minted model is perceived as a product of a higher level. However, sometimes you don’t want to overpay for the changes offered by the developers. And, unfortunately, the hero of today’s review evokes exactly such feelings.
Oukitel WP55 phone review
Oukitel WP55 - minor steps forward
The mid-price segment of smartphones with IP68 water protection has been stagnating for quite a long time in terms of technical characteristics. The same chipsets and photo modules have already become boring even for the most loyal fans of mobile electronics. Of course, phone manufacturers could not help but notice this situation. Thus, the Chinese company Oukitel tried to make the hero of today's review noticeably more relevant in terms of the specified parameters. It turned out not ideal, but not bad.
Honor 400 Pro phone review
Honor 400 Pro - one step away from flagship status
Pro versions of smartphones of the main line from the Chinese company Honor have become really popular all over the world. If competitors from Xiaomi in the person of Poco prioritized rather performance, then the above-mentioned corporation managed to offer decent photographic capabilities and excellent design for a similar price. In the hero of today's review, the developers also added excellent autonomy.
Honor 400 phone review
Honor 400 - the bestseller becomes more compact
The Chinese company Honor definitely knows how to create excellent smartphones, but not every product released from its conveyor belt can achieve the title of a hit. Thus, its original 200th model amazed fans of mobile electronics with a combination of well-developed design, excellent technical characteristics and good autonomy, but its successor with the 300th number was noted not only by an increased price tag, but also by a number of simplifications. The hero of today's review does not allow such things and offers even more impressive functionality in a reduced case.
Meizu Note 16 Pro phone review
Meizu Note 16 Pro - long-awaited competitiveness
The Chinese company Meizu did not forget to update the range of smartphones in the mid-price segment. If the previous phones of the specified group were inferior to their opponents in literally all respects, then the hero of today's review has already acquired noticeably more advanced technical characteristics and a number of important competitive advantages that distinguish it in the price category. It is a pity that the global version of the new product is still in question.
Meizu Note 16 phone review
Meizu Note 16 - a potential hit for China
The Chinese company Meizu is trying its best to become that phoenix that rises from the ashes. However, for several years now, the manufacturer has not been particularly successful in this. The problem is both in the marketing campaign and in the products themselves. Most of the new phones did not impress with the price-quality ratio, but the hero of today's review is already noticeably more interesting than its predecessors in this criterion. It is a pity that the global version of the device is still in question.
UMIDIGI G100 Pro phone review
UMIDIGI G100 Pro - a large, but weak in all respects smartphone
The Chinese company Umidigi appears less and less in the media headlines, and the discussion of the phones it has released on forums is no longer as large-scale. The reason for this is both the cut budget for marketing campaigns and the largely controversial products of the developer. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is also far from the most competitive in its price segment.
Doogee Blade 20 Play phone review
Doogee Blade 20 Play - bright and at the same time ordinary
The latest representative of the updated Blade line is a smartphone with a Play index. However, do not let the name deceive the potential buyer. There is no emphasis on performance or additional gaming functionality in the device, but there is a relatively advanced music component in the form of an LED backlight cutout for a large speaker. Unfortunately, this is where the differences from other phones protected from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards end.
Doogee Blade 20 Turbo phone review
Doogee Blade 20 Turbo - disadvantages you can't live with?
The experience of the Chinese company Doogee in creating smartphones protected against dust and moisture according to IP68 standards is hard to deny. The corporation has been delighting us with devices with increased strength and resistance to the elements for more than a decade. However, even such specialists can make offensive mistakes. Thus, just a few minuses in the hero of today's review reduce its chances of good sales to a minimum.
Doogee Blade 20 Ultra phone review
Doogee Blade 20 Ultra - Imitation of Expensiveness
The increasingly sophisticated audience of the smartphone market demands not only more or less reasonable performance from even inexpensive phones, but also an original design, advanced functionality and much more. And the Chinese company Doogee decided to try to satisfy numerous and, at first glance, impossible for the budget requirements. Not everything turned out perfectly, but the hero of today's review is more than viable.
Doogee Blade 20 phone review
Doogee Blade 20 - autonomy, durability and low price
Inexpensive phones with IP68 water protection have come a long way in evolution over the past few years, but the vast majority of such devices are still not considered balanced and capable of fully satisfying the needs of a modern sophisticated user. The hero of today's review does not revolutionize the segment either, but at the same time it has a couple of pronounced competitive advantages that are ready to attract many buyers.
OUKITEL WP300 phone review
OUKITEL WP300 - Unique Innovations
Creating something new is always pleasant, and sometimes even profitable. Smartphone manufacturers are well aware of the need to surprise the audience and maintain interest in their products, but the developer does not always manage to create functionality that is truly important for users. Unfortunately, the Chinese company Oukitel rather failed to cope with this task, judging by the hero of today's review.
Motorola Edge 60 Pro phone review
Motorola Edge 60 Pro - a flagship without performance
Today, it is not so difficult to find an excellent smartphone at the boundary of the middle and high price segments. Usually, the differences between sub-flagship and flagship devices come down to simplified photo capabilities, a slightly less powerful chipset, and slightly reduced functionality. Motorola has followed this path, but in some areas the manufacturer has clearly overdone it with savings.
Motorola Edge 60 phone review
Motorola Edge 60 - When the Price Spoils the Impression
Motorola, although not one of the most famous smartphone manufacturers in the world today, is still quite popular among fans of mobile electronics. The reasons for the audience's love are the original design of the phones, balanced technical characteristics, and good photo capabilities. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review cannot add an attractive price tag to the list.
Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro phone review
Nothing CMF Phone 2 Pro - Progress That Can Lead to Success
Even experienced developers do not always manage to achieve their goal the first time. Thus, the sub-brand of the Nothing company, consisting of former OnePlus employees, released a rather controversial smartphone last year, which found both fans and haters. Beautiful design and decent performance coexisted with reduced functionality. However, the hero of today's review is already more balanced and is an excellent work on the mistakes.
Vivo IQOO Neo10 Pro+ phone review
Vivo IQOO Neo10 Pro+ - the choice of a budget gamer
A huge number of people consider a smartphone not only as a mobile assistant, but also as a full-fledged gaming console. Hundreds of projects ported from a personal computer or multi-platform projects, an abundance of emulators of various consoles significantly increase the attractiveness of Android phones among the gaming community. It was for this that the hero of today's review was created. Traces of savings are visible everywhere in it, but without such compromises it would be impossible to maintain a very attractive price tag.
Doogee V Max Play phone review
Doogee V Max Play - Overweight Technologies
The Chinese company Doogee decided to show its creative nature and release a lot of smartphones this year with protection from dust and moisture according to IP68 standards with non-standard functionality. However, the hero of today's review for this reason is able to both attract the buyer and scare him away from buying. Let's figure out why this happened.
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro phone review
Xiaomi Redmi Turbo 4 Pro - Flagship Attack
The Chinese company Xiaomi has decided to start 2025 with several big announcements at once. The hero of today's review may not just be another commercially successful product of the manufacturer, but also a phone that is ready to significantly change people's attitudes towards devices at the turn of the middle and high price segments.
OnePlus 13T phone review
OnePlus 13T - more compact, simpler, but no worse
The Chinese company OnePlus suddenly remembered about fans of compact flagship smartphones, of which there are quite a few, judging by the sales of small Apple iPhone phones with the S-series from Samsung. However, the hero of today's review is also aimed at fans of "flagship killers" who adore the combination of performance, functionality and low price of mobile assistants.
Ulefone Armor 28 Pro phone review
Ulefone Armor 28 Pro - Reduced performance, increased attractiveness?
The Chinese company Ulefone has pleased its fans with full-fledged flagship smartphones in the Armor line this year. However, along with improved functionality and a top-end CPU, the new products also received a far from humane price tag. The manufacturer decided to rectify the situation by releasing the hero of today's review, which differs from its expensive predecessors only in its chipset. How correct is this decision on the part of the developer?
Doogee V Max S phone review
Doogee V Max S - a tough choice?
The Chinese company Doogee decided to please all lovers of protected smartphones with excellent autonomy without exception. If the first new products of the current year could not boast a really attractive price tag, then the hero of today's review is noticeably cheaper than its predecessors in the series and at the same time has not become noticeably simpler in technical characteristics and other parameters.
Vivo X200s phone review
Vivo X200s - a sub-flagship worthy of purchase
The Chinese company Vivo has seriously decided to compete with the most successful smartphone manufacturers in several price segments at once. And so far, the developer has demonstrated its most notable successes in the high price category. The hero of today's review is trying to be the device that remains affordable, but at the same time does not lag behind the flagships in most technical and other characteristics. And it succeeds in this task 100%.
Vivo X200 Ultra phone review
Vivo X200 Ultra - Simply Flawless
The flagship smartphones of the Chinese company Vivo have been delighting literally every fan of mobile electronics for many years. Gamers love the fantastic performance of the devices, photographers - the excellent photo capabilities. The hero of today's review brings every competitive advantage of its predecessor to a completely different level.
Blackview BL7000 phone review
Blackview BL7000 - unremarkable defender
In pursuit of expanding the range of smartphones offered, manufacturers often switch from quality to quantity. Unfortunately, this problem has not bypassed the Chinese company Blackview. Thus, the hero of today's review turned out to be extremely average for the price segment, devoid of noticeable competitive advantages, which is why the likelihood of its commercial success is not very high.
Samsung Galaxy M56 phone review
Samsung Galaxy M56 - thin mediocrity
The M-series of smartphones from the Korean company Samsung has always had problems with positioning. Some models were released with an emphasis on increased autonomy, others - on the overall balance of technical and other characteristics. The hero of today's review emphasizes the modest thickness of the monoblock. Unfortunately, it has no other serious competitive advantages.
ZTE Nubia Red Magic 10 Air phone review
ZTE Nubia Red Magic 10 Air - transition from the high to the mid-price segment
The Chinese company ZTE is expanding the range of gaming smartphones it offers. In addition to the annually released flagship models, the world-famous developer decided to create a gadget with a more affordable price tag. Taking last year's top device as a basis, the manufacturer slightly simplified the unit and, thus, made the hero of today's review. Are the chances of success for the new product high?
Realme GT8 Pro phone review
Realme GT8 Pro - Expected Evolution
The Chinese company Realme is feeling better every year, gradually taking away the audience from the former market leaders. And although most of the smartphones sold by the corporation belong to the lower and middle price segments, the manufacturer does not forget about the flagship models. Thus, the hero of today's review improves literally every aspect of its predecessor and is ready to compete on equal terms with the most impressive representatives of the highest cost category.
Honor Power phone review
Honor Power - an unexpected hit
The Chinese company Honor knows how to surprise its fans. So, completely unexpectedly, the manufacturer presented one of the best smartphones in the mid-price segment.

The gadget will definitely be able to surprise the audience.
Motorola Razr60 Ultra phone review
Motorola Razr60 Ultra - Compact Foldable Flagship
Motorola is not as popular today as it was several decades ago, but the manufacturer was able to overcome the crisis moments and continues to function, unlike other former market leaders like Nokia. The developer consistently produces very competitive smartphones, including representatives of the highest price segment. This is exactly what the hero of today's review has become, having every chance to return some of the corporation's past glory.
OUKITEL WP23 Plus phone review
OUKITEL WP23 Plus - An Unnecessary Add-On
Releasing improved versions of popular smartphones is often an effective and profitable business. Sometimes, however, the developer resorts to modifying the technical characteristics of not the most successful, but potentially competitive phones that simply need to be worked on. The hero of today's review does not belong to either the first or the second case, which is why its very existence raises a number of questions.
Doogee Note 59 Pro phone review
Doogee Note 59 Pro - Non-Pro Enhancements
The Chinese company Doogee has become famous in many ways thanks to its low-price smartphones, but today the corporation has too many opponents releasing balanced analogs. The hero of today's review can hardly be considered an unsuccessful product of a famous brand, but the changes compared to its predecessor are small, and some shortcomings are transferred directly to the new product.
ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra phone review
ZTE Nubia Z70S Ultra - for gamers, photographers and people who don't take selfies
It is difficult to doubt the ability of the Chinese company ZTE to create high-quality smartphones in any price category. The main Z-line regularly pleases fans of the brand with high-tech devices with impressive photo capabilities. The hero of today's review is a slightly improved version of its predecessor without the S-index, which eliminates the shortcomings and at the same time transfers all the characteristic features of the unit. However, some aspects remain controversial.
Xiaomi POCO C71 phone review
Xiaomi POCO C71 - simple but tasteful
The Chinese company Poco (a sub-brand of the Xiaomi corporation) specializes in smartphones of low and medium price segments, which has earned the love of millions of buyers. However, at the same time, the manufacturer's range of devices does not have many representatives of the lowest cost category. And the hero of today's review corrects this situation. This is definitely not ideal, but a more than high-quality phone for a very modest amount of money.
Ulefone Armor X32 phone review
Ulefone Armor X32 - a combination of the relevant and forgotten
The Chinese company Ulefone continues to expand the X-series of inexpensive smartphones with water protection according to IP68 standards, but the developer's new products are far from unambiguous. Thus, the hero of today's review can be forgiven for a number of its strange shortcomings, if you remember the humane price tag, but the manufacturer could have done without them.
ZTE Axon 70 phone review
ZTE Axon 70 - Lost its former glory
At one time, the Axon line of smartphones from the Chinese company ZTE was actually a flagship and pleased fans of the corporation with advanced technical characteristics, good photo capabilities, and sometimes curious competitive advantages like a built-in headphone amplifier. But for some reason, the manufacturer decided to change its priorities. So, the new representative of the once excellent series now causes rather bewilderment.
Xiaomi Redmi A5 phone review
Xiaomi Redmi A5 - Improving Ultra-budget Hits
The A-series of smartphones from the Chinese company Redmi (a sub-brand of Xiaomi) has always been popular, although in terms of sales, its representatives lagged far behind the main line. The reason was largely hidden in the focus of the devices. Ultra-cheap phones with minimal cost simply consisted of compromises. Technological progress allowed the hero of today's review to be better than its predecessors and have fewer obvious shortcomings.
OUKITEL WP39 Pro phone review
OUKITEL WP39 Pro - Improvements in the Wrong Aspects

Ulefone Armor X31 phone review
Ulefone Armor X31 - Trying Not to Make Mistakes
The Chinese company Ulefone often experiments to attract an ever-larger audience. But sometimes the manufacturer expands its product range by making the safest models for its price category. The hero of today's review has become one of them. It has no obvious shortcomings, but at the same time it has not received any noticeable competitive advantages. Balanced, but at the same time too boring, does such a device deserve attention?
Infinix Note 50x 5G+ phone review
Infinix Note 50x 5G+ - an inexpensive solution for gamers

Google Pixel 9A phone review
Google Pixel 9A - Not Enough Progress
Smartphones from the American company Google have turned from camera phones that were once unattainable in terms of photo capabilities into products exclusively for fans of the brand.

The hero of today's review is trying to reduce the gap, but an abundance of shortcomings still remains.
Realme 14T phone review
Realme 14T - The Right Mid-Range Smartphone?
The Chinese company Realme decided to suddenly expand the line of inexpensive smartphones with representatives with a previously unseen T-index in the series. The hero of today's review is the most affordable of the new products, pleasantly pleasing with both balanced technical characteristics and an attractive design for the price segment.
Blackview BV4800 SE phone review
Blackview BV4800 SE - Affordable Security
Not all fans of mobile electronics have impressive budgets for buying another smartphone. Quite a few of these people are fans of phones with IP68 water protection. The Chinese company Blackview is well aware of the demand from the mentioned part of the audience, as evidenced by the birth of the hero of today's review. It is impossible to call it ideal even for its price segment, but it also has many competitive advantages.
Xiaomi POCO F7 Ultra phone review
Xiaomi POCO F7 Ultra - the first full-fledged flagship?
Smartphones from the Chinese company Poco have always enjoyed simply wild popularity among the audience. The reason was simple and was the price of the devices. It was literally always more attractive than that of opponents with similar technical characteristics. However, in 99% of such situations, the manufacturer managed to achieve a more democratic pricing policy by saving either on assembly materials, or on photo capabilities, or on other components. But it seems that in the case of the hero of today's review, the developer did without the aforementioned simplifications.
Xiaomi POCO F7 Pro phone review
Xiaomi POCO F7 Pro - Another Step Forward
The Chinese company Poco (a sub-brand of the Xiaomi corporation) still specializes in relatively inexpensive smartphones, but the brand's top models are becoming more beautiful, technologically advanced and functional every year. So, the hero of today's review is even easier to confuse with other flagships, but a number of simplifications to reduce the cost price still remain.
